Sometimes if I have to use Linux, one of the most frustrating parts of the gnome file manager is how on some distros the path text input at the top is simply not there in some distros. It used to be there all the time. I don't know why this essential feature was removed/hidden behind impossible to find settings.
- superkuh 5y agoNot only impossible to find, the gtk3/4 devs actually changed the underlying gtk versions to stop respecting gsettings to enable pathbar even if the user did find and set it. But they didn't remove the gsettings. They're just non-functional. And because it's gtk3/4 not only the desktop environment applications are effected. All gtk3/4 using applications are. Things went downhill quickly after ~2014.

I only speculate. some distros like Ubuntu were undoing some GNOME feature removal shit because they were listening for user feedback, so the difference could be that some distros are shipping GNOME vanilla(as their big ego designer intended) and some are trying to undo some damage with patches , extensions and different defaults.
- lloydatkinson 5y agoDoes gnomes designer have a big ego? Could explain the poor usability
- simion314 5y agoyes, only giant ego will explain defending of stupid ideas with stupid or fake arguments and never admitting your assumptions were wrong. My suspicion is this designers do not really use the products they design.
